Reimagineering the Nation : Essays on Twenty-First-Century Sweden Hardback
Edited by Aleksandra Alund, Carl-Ulrik Schierup, Anders Neergaard
Part of the Political and Social Change series
Hardback
Description
This collection of essays offers a critical analysis of neoliberal transformation as it has unfolded in Sweden, long regarded as exemplary in terms of social welfare, equality and an inclusive multicultural democracy.
The book presents a multidisciplinary exposition on Sweden, seen in a wider European perspective.
It addresses changing frameworks of citizenship, welfare and democracy, migration and asylum, urban segregation and labour market segmentation and processes of securitization.
It illuminates intersecting dimensions of class, gender and racialization and juxtaposes xenophobic populism with new social justice and antiracist movements on a changing political stage.
Addressing a growing alignment with retrogressive illiberal policies across Europe, the volume exposes the reach of the adverse direction in which European "integration" is currently heading.
